Orionids is a completed October event. The official schedule names the next showers, but does not establish their individual research tasks or every future core-color assignment.
Announced shower windows
Each published window begins at 5 p.m. on the first day and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the last day, local time. The dates shown for the next occurrences in 2027 follow the announced annual calendar. Recheck official news before each event; future tasks and rewards require their own announcement.

Historical Orionids reward register
The task wording was rechecked on October 28. Leek Duck and GoDex disagree on the Stardust from the bonus Use a Star Piece task, so neither amount is presented as independently verified. These are historical tasks, not a claim that every account received them. A reported completion reward does not mean you can claim it after the research expired.
| Evidence | Reported reward | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Leek Duck regular Timed Research | Claim one Star Piece, then five Use a Star Piece tasks at 7,740 Stardust each; completion 77,400 | Historical October event; not a future-task promise |
| Arithmetic from those rewards | 5 × 7,740 + 77,400 = 116,100 | Total of the listed rewards, not another bonus |
| Separate lucky-Trainer bonus research | Leek Duck: 774 Stardust for Use a Star Piece; GoDex: 7,740. Both report 1,000,000 on completion | Historical, not guaranteed, and the task reward is disputed |
| Future shower research | Not confirmed in this review | No invented task thresholds or encounter rewards |
The historical deadline disagreement
The earlier Orionids review recorded Leek Duck at October 24, 11:59 p.m. and GoDex at 5 p.m. That discrepancy remains a source note. Orionids has now ended; this is not a current invitation to finish those tasks.
For the next shower, inspect the Today tab when the task becomes available. Record both completion and claim limits if the game shows them. Finishing a task and collecting its reward are separate actions. Do not carry October’s task or deadline into November without evidence.
Before the next shower
- Check the current official announcement and local window.
- Confirm the released core color from a dated source.
- Open the game to see whether your account has research.
- Read the actual tasks and claim countdown; do not assume a rare bonus.
- Use a ball/berry plan that fits your inventory; do not spend for an unpromised reward.
